are you aware of any organized opposition to relief for the victims of superstorm sandy? >> absolutely not. i haven't heard of any organized effort. i heard some of my colleagues on the republican side say they'd like to give a lot less than the $60.4 billion. but we thought we had the votes that would pass the amendment to make it a $60.4 billion bill. >> thank you. appreciate your time. >> thank you. >>> up next, hillary clinton's expected to make a full recovery after doctors discovered a blood clot near her brain. the same might not be true of her harshest critics who accused her of faking illness to avoid testifying about benghazi. that's ahead. this is "hardball," the place for politics.

speaker boehner refused to bring forward a bill funding emergency aid for victims of superstorm sandy. this is how republican peter king responded this morning. >> john boehner has been personally helpful over the years, so it pains me to say this, but the fact is, the dismissive attitude that was shown last night towards new york, new jersey, connecticut, typifies, i believe, a strain in the republican party. we cannot believe that this cruel knife in the back was delivered to our region. >> now, unfortunately, these leaders will still need to work together, and soon. with one deadline down last night, the president has already begun positioning himself for the next fight. >> we'll negotiate over many things. i will not have another debate with this congress over whether or not they should pay the bills that they've already racked up through the laws that they passed. let me repeat. we can't not pay bills that we've already incurred. >> the debt ceiling is coming, the sequesters are coming. cue the next countdown clock. joining us now from washington, the sage of capitol hill, hardes

sandy relief, is boehner the problem or is controlling the republican convention, like a bunch of herding cats, as the speaker has said in the past? >> definitely the latter. controlling this caulk discuss a much greater problem than john boehner. if you look at the people who defected, one was not tom price, he ended up voting for boehner for speaker, but if you look at the people who defected, did not vote for john boehner for speaker, no consensus among them at all there is no alternative there is no uprising to support someone else who could be speaker, they really are split. that, if anything is indicative of the fact that this caulk discuss very splintered right now. >> yeah, of those who did not vote forth speaker, three went for eric captor, okay, understandable, two for alan west, who is no longer part of the house, but interesting votes there how about speaker boehner who says that he's done, he is done negotiating one-on-one with the president, something that has not brought to fruition what he hoped would happen. ab, that does not exactly inspire confidence in our elected offi
